Christ is the Saint of The Southern Cross and wears the Southern Cross Silver Cloth, his class have only been confirmed with a question mark as Silver.[1]

Plot Overview

Christ died some time before Athena was kidnapped, and is thus recognized by Hyoga as being the Southern Cross to Hyoga's Northern Cross.[2][3] Feeling restless and tormented by his death as he lay in his grave, Christ put aside his Saint title and joined Eris, who revived him with a new body. When he gets an advantage over Cygnus Hyoga, Christ is betrayed by Eris, who sees this as a good opportunity. She throws a spear into Christ's back which pierces right through his heart, killing him and injuring Hyoga at the same time.

Concept & Creation

With the success of the Saint Seiya franchise in both anime & manga form, a movie was proposed by Toei. Masami Kurumada participated in the production and after 3 months he contributed with the new Saints. Christ is named after Christ the anointed one, in the case of Jesus who were hung to a cross.
As the Lyra & Sagitta Cloths was created by Kurumada for the movie and later appeared in the original story, many assume the Southern Cross Cloth will too.
